All our Tricycles and Jeeps were stopped last week.
The Mayor has organised free transport for all health workers.
The local police who roam around in their multi seat open air vans will always pick you up and take you home if you need too....

That is well out of order mate.Tried to call Prudential to find out why one of my pensions has not been paid, answer phone says due to the virus call back next week sometime. That pension is used to pay utility bills.
We have computers and automated electronic transfers now. No excuse !
Our utility providers have given a 30 day bill payment extension.. Yours probably has too.Tried to call Prudential to find out why one of my pensions has not been paid, answer phone says due to the virus call back next week sometime. That pension is used to pay utility bills.
State pension will be late too, my payday is 10th April thats good friday so will not get that till the following week. Oh look just found half bottle of rum.
I think Easter has been suspended this year... so can cross that one off your list.
.
State pension and Pru arrive at correct time in UK, if it's supposed to be good Friday we get it on the Thursday and at weekend if Sat receive on Friday if Sunday receive Monday.That is well out of order mate.

Might well in the UK, does not happen here in the Philippines. DWP use Citibank and they hold for 10 days under money laundering laws.
Ah, I understand now.
They just extended the lock down here in Tagum until 19 April.I will be climbing the walls by then.
Leave it in the UK and use Transferwise to send to Philippines bank, quick and cheap, I've had money arrive within minutes.

They just extended ours till May 4 !!!
Ive got 5 more days till my 10 Gallons Ginger beer is brewed..Every cloud..
No UK address so you cannot have UK account.
Just changed ours to 6pm to 6am. until end April.
I still have my UK account and credit card, no problem.
Yeah... if they close mine, how do they think the (bank) credit card is going to get paid ?
So far I still have my UK bank account. They know where I live and they know I don't have a UK phone number.
I have no UK credit card
I do have a BDO credit card which I use regularly for 0% interest purchases with Installment payments always 0% interest.....I like my Philippine credit card a lot
I've started having issues with my usual remittance routes. Many of the cash-pick points I use are no longer available via Worldremit.
Also last time I used Worldremit I waited over 2 days for them to process...I'm currently looking for short term solutions in case our lockdown continues beyond Aprl 30
I use Transferwise to send money over to the Philippines, I dont know if this is what you are looking for Peter, I did try to open an account with Worldremit some years ago but they refused my application, cant remember the reason now.. but hey its there loss..
My PNB remittances are still ok at the moment, only a few hours as usual. Don't know if anything will change in the near future, hope not
I can only use cash pick at the moment as all banks within walking distance are outside of my quarantine area....
I've been using https://azimo.com/en/ngk/auth/sign-i...61043485379500 to transfer money recently.
Can be collected from any BDO bank but as they're closed at the moment you can collect from Palawan or Mlhuillier
Hello Simon,
Thanks for the info. As said I have no collection point for cash pick up within reasonable walking distance.
I've been told there is a Palawan open in Katipunan which would be open. About an hour to walk, but outside our Barangay.
I'm considering opening a bank account with PSbank and making bank-to-bank transfer. I'll need to talk with them and explore the possibilities.
I sometimes used LBC but they're also closed.
Besides which, more often than not they didn't have enough money for me
Maybe this will help?

I dumped Worldremit (after about 3 years) and now also use Azimo....and collect at MHHuillier, or other remittance collection agency.
I stopped using Worldremit after they no longer had the facility of sending money (directly) through one's UK bank account. They were a lot quicker, but Azimo (similar to Transferwise), though taking maybe 12 hours, does still allow me to pay straight out of my UK bank current account. So far, so good with them.... and they are cheap too...and certainly a lot cheaper than using my UK ATM card here. (p250 per withdrawal) .
Lock down extended to May 15th
